Oral notes James Patterson Flashcards
Missed approach fuel
200 lbs always even w/o alternate airport
Minimum takeoff fuel
takeoff burn + alternate burn + reserve + holding
How do you do a White bucket test?
- ) Siphon 1 gal. from fuel truck and check for sediments
- ) If present, siphon another gallon (up to 3 gals).
- ) If after 3 gals, there is still sediments, don’t use fuel truck. Write in “remarks” section of logcan.
Are MEL, CDL, and NEF equally important?
Yes. They could ground aircraft.
RVSM compliance check on PFD1, PFD2, and Standby altimeter.
75 ft of field elevation
50 ft difference between PFD1 and PFD2
150 ft of standby altimeter (0 - 5,000’ only). Above, check SOP.
When do we do T/O-1 (100% t/o thrust)?
C - ontaminated runway A - TTCS inop M - ELs says you have to P - erformance (if Aerodata says you have to) Winshear
What is Vref?
Landing speed upon crossing runway threshold.
Wind correction added for headwind = 1/2 hw + diff between sustained wind and gust factor.
Max wind additive for Vref at flaps 22?
20 kts
Max wind additive for Vref at flaps 45?
15 kts
Minimum additive for Vref for both flaps 22 and 45?
5 kts
What is “acceleration height”?
Height AGL when acft levels off to accelerate to Vfs (final segment speed). Given to us in MSL.
When is flaps retracted?
V2 + 15 AND at or above acceleration height.
What is minimum landing distance?
Aerodata given. Min runway length available for you to land. Crossing threshold at Vref at 50 ft AGL, you need to land within 60% of length.
Climb profile for Emb-145?
240 kts below 10,000’
270 kts above 10,000’
Transition to Mach .56 @ FL 180
What is SAT?
Static Air Temp. Used on the ground to define icing conditions of 10 deg C on the ground.
What is Normal Icing Conditions per FAA?
Contaminants adhering to acft, but the wx is no longer relevant.
What is the step for anti-icing in normal icing conditions?
1-step de-ice process. Spray acft with deice fluid followed by tactile check.
What is Icing Conditions on the ground?
Contaminants adhering to acft and the wx is still prevalent.
What step(s) for anti-icing in Icing Conditions on the ground?
2-step deice process. Spray acft with de-ice fluid, do tactile check. Then spray with anti-ice. Time for holdover.
What is icing conditions “holdover”?
Amount of time anti-ice fluid can be exposed to icing conditions before it becomes saturated.
Where can you spray de-ice fluid?
All over the acft.
Where can you spray anti-ice fluid?
Wings, stabs, rudders and top of fuselage.
What type is de-ice fluid?
Type 1, pink color, 50-50 solution in water and applied hot.
What type is anti-ice fluid?
Type 4, green color, 100% concentrate (no water added) and applied cold.
How to prepare acft for de-ice?
- ) Set parking brake
- ) Flaps and ailerons to neutral
- ) Trim to full nose down.
- ) Gust lock set.
- ) All doors, windows and emergency exit closed.
- ) Off gate - engines IDLE, bleeds & packs off, APU off
- ) On gate - engines OFF, bleeds & packs off, APU on.
Icing takeoff configuration for acft?
- ) Bleeds ON
- ) PACKS ON
- ) Cross bleed AUTO
- ) Ice Detection Override know - ENG
How many FADECs does each engine have?
2 FADECs per engine - FADEC A and FADEC B
How many FADECs run each time the engine is on?
Only 1 FADEC runs. The other is on standby, but still running engine data calculations in case it needs to take over.
What are the FADEC conversations?
On side, Cross side, and Discreet conversations.
What is FADEC On side conversation?
Conversation between FADEC A and FADEC B of the onside engine. “Are you okay?” If critical fault occurs, the other FADEC takes over. EICAS message comes out. They can use each others igniter.
What is FADEC cross side conversation?
Conversation between FADECs across each engine.
- ) Is your engine running? If not ATTCS bumps power to 100%
- ) Did you T/R deploy? If not, then no more than IDLE thrust is commanded.
What is FADEC discreet conversation?
FADEC talking to itself.
- ) Am I being asked to go-around (or takeoff) and is it 19 deg C or more outside? If yes to either, then turn OFF PACKS.
- ) Am I running? If not, then turn on the Electric Hydraulic Pumps.
